Spontaneous reporting of ADRs is essential to safeguard public health and promote rational drug therapy. To overcome under-reporting of ADRs, training interns, who are future practitioners in pharmacovigilance is necessary to ensure spontaneous reporting behaviour among them. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of educational intervention on knowledge, attitude, and practice of ADR reporting and pharmacovigilance process among Interns in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A prospective quasi-experimental study was conducted after obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Review Board, among interns using a pre-designed and validated questionnaire on knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacovigilance shared through a Google form. The results were statistically analyzed usingSPSS v25. Results: The study included 111 participants, 61 males and 50 females. There was a significant improvement post-intervention in the knowledge and attitude domains regarding ADR, its types, mandatory elements required for reporting ADR, who can report, what, where, and how to report ADR. However, critical practice gap persisted, and the number of participants who observed ADR and who reported remained unchanged. There were concerns about legal issues in reporting ADRs. Conclusion: Educational interventions have a significant impact on improving healthcare professionals' pharmacovigilance knowledge and attitudes, supporting their implementation as essential components of professional development programs. While education provides the foundation, achieving optimal ADR reporting requires integrated approaches combining training with supportive policies, simplified systems, and institutional culture change.
